According to the police, the suspects hail from Vattepally and Jahanuma in the Falaknuma area. Wednesday being Parvez’s birthday, he had planned a party on Tuesday night at a farmhouse owned by his friend’s uncle in Shamshabad.
Parvez contacted Rehman and asked him to arrange for girls to dance during the party.

However, when the girls resisted, the men harassed them physically and molested them,” said Mr Ashok Kumar Goud, ACP, Shamshabad.
